I been following this plan, give or take, for about 10 days.
Breakfast= Eggs with Bacon or a protien shake.
Snack=Almonds
Lunch-Almond Milk Protein shake or a salad with chicken
Snack= Fruit
Dinner =Meat (chicken steak) black beans and a vegetable.
Been avoiding Dairy, bread and sugar.
Problem is this is only about 1000-1200 calories a day so it's been rough.

If your protein shakes are whey based you're not avoiding dairy.
The one I use is is plant based.
Breakfast - Weetabix or 2 toast and scrambled eggs.
Lunch - chicken salad and a banana if im still hungry
Dinner - chicken with veggies and a bit of beans. Or sometimes brown rice with bits of chicken
As for snacks I take a bottle of water with me to work and a banana or apple. When i get a bit hungry Ill have a bit of water and that'll fill me up for a while.

Ah ok.
I'm not particularly a healthy or restrictive eater but I workout 5 days a week and make sure I have mostly fruit or vegatables in every meal.
Obviously it changes a bit, but a typical week day looks something like this;
Breakfast; Omelette (four eggs) cooked in coconut oil.
Lunch; I eat at my desk at work. I usually have peanut butter (Smucker's Natural) and bananas. Usually 2-3 bananas over the course of the day with 1-2 spoonful peanut butter with each.
Dinner; Meat and veggies and usually some sort of starch (potato, garbanzo beans, squash, etc.)
Snacks are usually fruit/veggies. I like apple's with cheese, baby carrots, cherries recently because they're in season, and various others.
My diet consists primarily of whole foods, so no bread

My job involves a lot of road travel with a $75 daily stipend.
It's really easy to get sucked up into this, and gain a lot of weight on the road. Seen this happen to colleagues.
Here's an example of how I eat on the road generally to stay healthy. I keep similar habits when I'm home.
For breakfasts at the hotel(I pick hotels with good breakfast bars) I'll usually pick 2 of the following: Fruit, veggie omlet, yogurt, oatmeal.
For lunch at the hospital I'll usually pick two of the following: soup, salad, veggie burger, veggie wrap, avocado toast.
For dinner I'll hit a restaurant and only get an entree w/starch and veggie side. Usually a vegetarian option, occasionally some fish or variation of grilled chicken.
I also don't snack or drink any sugary drinks. I don't keep snacks snacks at home either other than fruit.

Lunch yesterday was pork chops coated with almond flour and spices cooked in some butter with some roasted Brussels sprouts on the side. Dinner was a few slices of cheese and a glass of wine.
Lunch today is gonna be some chicken drumsticks coated with parmesan and garlic, roasted in the oven and tossed in some hot sauce. Dinner will probably be a small salad with some shrimp and tuna in it and a glass of wine, some days I don't feel hungry for dinner so just snack on some almonds or a bit of cheese.
I try to eat low carb, cook every day, and avoid processed foods as much as possible. Once every other week or two I'll splurge and have a pizza or some chips.

Mostly just ribeye steak these days.
Other meats sometimes! Eggs if I feel like it.
Some vegetables (peppers, onions, mushrooms, leafy greens) every once in a while.

Dinner 5oz grilled chicken + 1/2 banana
Snack Protein bar + 1/2 cucumber
Late Snack Protein bar + supplement/multivitamins

Protein bars are because I am lazy when it comes to food prep, and they taste like

Trying to lose weight and doing aerobic exercise on treadmill for 40 min morning and 40 min evening

Stop eating bread/grain and focus on meat and veggies?

I half expected alternate(less popular) Taco Bell menu items...
Been getting into cooking more myself, usually fish and lots of chicken with vegetables and rice for dinner. Occasionally red meat which isn't helping but I'm human.
Lots of apples, grapes, and bananas for snacks. Salads for lunch as much as possible(but deli sandwiches quite a bit too)
Water and carbonated water to drink. Pretty much cut out soda and even alcohol outside of social occasions at this point.

Been trying to do Paleo but it has been a challenge since I love carbs and junk food. Been at it for 10 days and I have lost a few pounds already.
Breakfast today: small protein shake and plain Oatmeal
Lunch: shredded chicken breast (pressure cooker) with stir fried broccoli
Afternoon snack: plain Greek yoghurt with berries
Dinner: not sure today - last night was a salad with mixed greens, red cabbage, peppers and red onion, mushrooms, ham, and a little cheese.

I don't really track calories or monitor anything but my basic meals are usually:
Breakfast: French Press of coffee, bowl of cereal and some fruit or eggs and some fruit.
Lunch: Celery and hummus, little bit of cured meat, almonds, apple.
Dinner: Protein, salad or veggies.
Also just a shit ton of water throughout the day and if I need a snack usually nuts or string cheese.

I am kind of doing this, although breakfast is more carbs and I don't do protein shakes. I go around 2000 calories or so (depending on my running). Been doing 4 runs a week (one 5k, couple 2 milers and a long run of 8+). Snacking on nuts, cheese and fruit is key to me not passing out at night lol.
Fat. When replacing your carbs with healthy fats, it can add up. Also cooking things in stuff like butter and oil adds more fats.

Oreo Mousse.
Been on a diet the last couple weeks. I do:
Breakfast - Overnight oats (rolled, with fresh fruit, non-fat Greek yogurt, non-fat milk, and a little honey)
Lunch - leftover chicken or fish with fresh cut avocado or peppers in a spinach wrap. No sauce, no cheese
Dinner - Baked Chicken/Salmon/Tilapia with spices and olive oil. Salad too, although sometimes I'll do a different veggie.
For snacks, I'm doing bananas, other fruits, and protein bars.
I had to eat a slice of pizza today and I felt terrible afterwards. Figured that was a good sign
Edit: Oh! I forgot that I'm drinking a lot of La Croix (sparkling water). I was addicted to pop, and that's helping me ween off it.

Really depends. Oatmeal, overnight oats, something like that for breakfast. Snack on nuts, fruits. Lunch is leftover from whatever made the night before - always cooking, always fresh food and ingredients, often vegetarian cuisine. Grains are usually quinoa or brown rice. Afternoon maybe some more fruit and some veggie snacks.
Cook with olive oil, coconut oil, and I use butter.
Sometimes for certain dishes, I'll stir in kale or spinach.

I try to eat healthy, or at least, eat to where I can complement lifting weights, but I'm always hungry. I usually go chicken and pasta for dinner, but 30 minutes later I'm hungry again, so I devour goldfish.
Trying to eat on a college budget is no fun.

I started Keto 11 days ago.
So far so good. My average day (when I work out) is:
Breakfast: 3 Fried Eggs, 4-7 slices bacon, double cream cheese w/ bulletproof coffee (1tbs coconut oil, 2tbs butter, 1tbs heavy cream, cinnamon, kakao, Himalayan salt, coffee)
Lunch: Fillet mignon w/ extra butter and garlic, brocolli, and some mushrooms
Dinner: Large salad with 2 eggs chopped, 2 ounces chopped ham, 2 ounces cheddar cheese, and creamy italian dressing (sometimes with sliced avocado)
Snacks: Hazelnuts, Pork Rinds, Sardines
I'm not interested in losing weight, but so far I've gone from 193 to 187. I would like to start gaining after I get rid of the little bit of fat on my abs and lower back.

Not the healthiest, but-
Breakfast. Fruit (I change it up), rice cake w/ peanut butter, coffee. Coffee with milk and a little bit of sugar.
Lunch and dinner. Home cooked meals. I typically eat light on dinners cuz I'm less hungry then.
I have a yogurt snack after my workout (1 hr 5x week) at lunch. Light yogurt, nuts, dried cranberries, flax.
We got fruit baskets at work so if I get hungry I can grab something. Wondering if I eat too much fruit now lol.
Beer on Wednesdays and Saturdays. This would probably ruin everything, but whatever I'm doing has me still losing weight little by little. 20 pounds this year. I wonder when I'll stagnate, though.
